It may be fome will apprehend, that thefe Adipofe Veflels, may be the progrels of the Membranous Cavities, propagated from Fat, which being Colliquated by heat , do form winding pallages between the Membranes But I humbly conceive, that tllCFC fine clear Vellels, final]. note and fiibtle, that they very much evade our fight. Burro give you my Conjecture in lo nice a Point, there are two eminent parts ( which may contribute to their origen) to which the Caul hath a firm Connexion, the Ventricle, and the Splene: For the latter, thele Rea- lbns may be offered, Betaufe a principal Vein is branched through all the coal‘ts of the Caul, taking its beginning from the Splene; which in more perfiét Animals, is [cared about the Margent of it, and in Filh about the as may be diltovered ) are firmly conjoyned to the Membranes or" the Caul, which do with the Splenick Veflels, enter into the line of the Splene 5 lb origination in fome part from the Nervous Filaments, which are very nume- rous in the Splene, and may thence be propagated into the Membranes of the Can], which is not only united, but entereth into the Splene. Another confiderablc part with which the Card hath communion and entei'courle, in reference to Connexion and Vellels, is the Stomach, to c i erminate into t e adjacent Membranous Cavities, but "MW" other; frame‘ which??? ope over another, without difcompofing eaCh wouldwith eafily3clofe meet niakt‘ingda 'Cy K113 uIlitoceed each ohm" only from Bodies of Fat in their madeprogrefs, Up 0f Far, andthey do in fre uent Inol‘culatio, an n30 way form Fuch Reticular Mafhes, founded ings. ‘1 ms, at part again With Various turnings and Wind- Duas. mifis, that many Fibrous bodies do expatiate from Membrane to Mem- that it is in fome fort PFOl).ll)lC‘, that the Adipofe Veilels may derive their am" £333,132: Igléfigggnlgapyemtabules of Fat, do end into the mof't Minute Memliianougs rel to [it the fountain of the Adipoic brane through the Parenchyma of the Splene, not having a common Con- nexion With the Sanguineous Veflels: And thefe Nervous Filaments (as far becaufe thefe Adipofe Bodies may be difcei‘ned in a Porcupine, wherein the reticular l'truéture of thefe VefTels, pafling in Maeanders, is made without thelt is farther Worth our notice in Deer, Calves, Sheep, Hogs, Dogs, where are :3)? paces are coverfid With Membranes, that thefe Adipofe Ducts; bly conjeflu- Center. To this may be added, according to the unanimous Fufli'ages of Anato. accrdentally, without anyldefign of Nature: But this may admit a Reply, any Membranes lying under them; and this Net-work of Adipofe Bodies, confining of Ramulets, propagated out of the {ides of others, are extended :1ngrAe:nigjicneéwbzfilge (lifted up very much, if they be obl‘erved in the Canl of Tlic Splene maybe proba- whofe bottom it is firongly conjoyned: And the Can] entertaineth Veffels, whofe Extreamities, or rather Beginnings, commencein the Ventricle, which is plainly difcerned in perfect Animals, and in large Filh, and alfo in Fowl, it overlpreadeth the MulEular Stomach (commonly called the Gizard) as alfo the Inteltines.
